https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=574610 I also had a thread that which was eventually locked made at the beginning of this mess trying to explain exponential growth before everyone else tried to explain this to the masses. And, I made a model with a thread to emphasize how important total lockdowns are here before we had a single state lockdown. I even predicted the number of deaths in the next few months here in the US to be between 40k and 120k with my model (all that was a bit lucky): https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=574935 https://www.acousticguitarforum.com/...d.php?t=575107

Fortunately, I didn't disagree with you, Rob. I hope we get to watch our Patriots this Fall ... I won't watch virtual sports.
Are you also a die hard Red Sox fan? Quote:

The opening games of Taiwan baseball were televised yesterday from stadiums with no live fans in the seats.
The news clips showed empty stadiums, and a close-up shot of one fan area filled with a few dozen manikins and cardboard cutouts - a few of them wearing surgical masks. A handful of robots were parked in the wheelchair row above. Baseball can avoid a lot of interaction (personal contact, ball handling, contaminated surfaces) between teams. Excepting the closeness at home plate and runners at bases. The China Basketball Assn recalled it's teams (including international players) in March. They've passed the govt mandated isolation period, and have been living and practising in isolation. The target was to restart the season at arenas (with no fans) in one or two cities in early or mid April. This was refused by govt authorities and they are discussing possibility of a mid May restart. Basketball may be a poor choice for early resumption because of constant touching of the ball by all players on both teams and by referees, constant close contact, and lots of micro droplets normally spewed out by participants exerting max athletic effort. Some NBA players recently played a H.O.R.S.E. mini tournament from isolated locations. Doubtful if this is worth televising to fans. NFL draft is proceeding later in April. All participants will interact from home because all NFL HQ and team facilities are closed and teams are not permitted to gather. Perhaps golf tournaments with no fans might be feasible for early restart? Will need to resolve fairness issues between players based in strict vs lax jurisdictions, govt travel restrictions, will caddies need to be isolated into player homes, etc etc. Cheers.

Until they let me walk a golf course and launch a boat, I don't care about sports on TV.

Though we have "stay at home" orders, reservoirs and golf courses appear to be open.

In normal times, both are possible. I like many sports, a few where I have the interest, ability and time to play which has evolved over the years due to age. But most sports, I can’t play, but I can surely watch for the thrill of competition. Playing, watching...it’s all good.

Heard on the news today that LA is contemplating no Sports or Concerts until 2021. If LA does it then perhaps other major CA cities do to.
Mike Trout (MLB) said that he isn't a fan of baseball starting up again and being quarantined in hotels between games. He's expecting his child to be born and obviously wants to be there. I'm sure there are lots of other expecting MLB fathers. |
